Receiving Credit From An Outside Institution
This information is intended to assist you in receiving chemistry course credit for courses taken outside of UCSD.
The courses listed below have been pre-approved for equivalency with UCSD chemistry or biochemistry coursework.
If you see your coursework listed below, you will need to send the chemistry department a VAC message letting us know which coursework you took and the UCSD equivelency in order for us to attach your credit.*
*Note that you may be able to receive credit automatically if you took a course at another UC. See details here.
If you do NOT see your institution or coursework listed below, you will need to submit a course substitution petition or pre-approval petition to the Chemistry and Biochemistry department. Approval is not guaranteed.
If you will be taking coursework as part of a Study Abroad program, please refer to the Study Abroad as a Chemistry Major page for additional guidelines on how to apply coursework to your chemistry major.
If you are a visiting (non-UCSD) student:
Please consult your home campus department to ensure accepted transfer courses and verify policies and procedures for transfer credit.
Requirements to Note
48 Upper-Division Major Requirement
All majors in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department are required to complete a minimum of 48 upper-division units within the major at UCSD. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they meet this residency requirement, especially those who plan to take major upper-division coursework at another institution (e.g. via Study Abroad or another university).
Department Residency
All Chemistry/Biochemistry majors are required to complete at least six (6) upper-division courses within the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they meet this residency requirement, especially those who plan to take major upper-division coursework at another institution (e.g. via Study Abroad or another university).
For all other Major Requirements see the link below
See the categories below for previously approved courses at institutions outside of UCSD. Please note this list is constantly being updated.
University of California (UC) Schools
Please see below for a list of pre-approved University of California (UC) courses.
- UC classes taken Fall 2018 and later: Once your UC transfer course has posted to your Academic History, you should receive the UCSD credit automatically. If you do not, send a message via the VAC to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry requesting to have UCSD course credit attached to your transfer course. Ex. CHEM 1A (UC Irvine) = CHEM 6A UCSD
- UC classes taken prior to Fall 2018: You will not receive UCSD chemistry credit automatically. Send a message via the VAC to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry requesting to have UCSD course credit attached to your transfer course.
If you are a UCSD student planning to take a course at another UC:
- Find an approved course below.
- Take the course for a letter grade. You must receive a passing grade* in order to have the class count toward any major requirement within the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. You may not take these classe P/NP. If your major is outside of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, please contact your major department for grade requirements.
- Submit transcript as soon as possible to UCSD Admissions and wait for course to post to your academic history. This may take up to 8 weeks to process

California Community Colleges
- Please check assist.org to see the pre-approved course equivalencies for your coursework
- If you took your coursework at 2 different community colleges in two different districts, you will need to submit a course substitution petition in order for our department to review your coursework for UCSD equivalency
- If you took chemistry coursework at two different colleges within the same district and if both colleges use the same course numbering, it is likely that you will NOT need to petition. However, you will need to send us a VAC message so that your record can be updated.
